When actress Tanya Newbould experienced PPD with her daughter she did not understand what was wrong with her or how to go about getting help. Tanya teamed up with Director Jamielyn Lippman to uncover this illness that affects 1 in 5 new mothers. Lindsay Gerszt who was, at the time, suffering from postpartum depression, agreed to let the cameras document her and give an in depth look at her path to recovery. Babies are dying, women aren’t speaking out and the signs are being missed. Together these three women take us on a journey to find answers and break the silence. Produced and Narrated by Brooke Shields.
